# Human Approval

Although independent human sign-off is required at nearly every stage
of `docs/PROCESS_CONTRACT.md`, this Skill is anchored at `PR_REVIEW`
because that is the one stage whose entire purpose is exactly this: a
human, who did not write the diff, deciding whether it is acceptable.
Segregation of duties is enforced unconditionally here — regardless of
the Work Packet's risk level — mirroring
`backend/src/skillbase_backend/domain/state_machine.py`'s
`_ALWAYS_SEGREGATED_STAGES` rule for `PR_REVIEW`.

## Rejection path

"Request changes" → back to `CODING`; the Work Packet re-enters
`TESTING`, `TEST_FAILURE_EXPLANATION` (as applicable), and `PR_REVIEW`
after rework (docs/PROCESS_CONTRACT.md, stage `PR_REVIEW`).
